Link Building Through Article Marketing

October 27th, 2010

SEO and link building are almost synonimous and one of the easiest and most affordable ways to get those all important links is with article marketing. I know what some of you are thinking: I hate to write articles! If that’s you then outsource them, it can be as little as $5. Articles are good for some things (like SEO) but not for others and that’s what you are going learn in this article.You can also learn seo here. First let’s look at what article marketing is not good for. You may have read that articles submited to directories will bring you plenty of traffic on thier own. This might happen once in a while but as a general rule and from my own experience this is not the case. I have submitted many articles on many different subjects to the top directories and havn’t seen any decent traffic from those efforts. You may also have heard that people will use your articles on thier site and you will get visitors from there. I have not found this to be a significant source of traffic either. Maybe in the past these things may have been true but not in the present. All the best directories have an abundace of great articles on just about every subject so your article being found and used is about like the chances of finding a needle in a hay stack. But don’t let this stop you from using articles becuase you can still get great SEO benefit from them. With the current state of affairs online your best bet is to use article marketing for back-links. You can use the authors resource box to give your web site anchor text links from these authority sites which is the best way to get ranked high in the SERPs. Getting back-links to your web site can take a lot of time, money or both. But with article marketing you can get an unlimited number of these links to you site for little or no money and, if you do it the right way, for very little investment of your time as well. For this to work you are going to need to get a lot of articles out there though. To submit a lot of articles fast you will need to use either a desk-top or web based application to automate this process for you. You have many choices on the market today. Some of these programs submit to directories and others post your articles on blogs all with a few clicks of the mouse. Several have built in “spinners” to give you multiple articles from one seed article. This can give you even more SEO benefit. If you have the money and feel your time is your most valuable asset you can also use a service to manually submit your articles for you. If on the other hand you have more time than money then one of the programs mentioned above will be your best bet since it will be a one time cost or a low monthly fee. So as you have seen you will not recieve a great deal of traffic directly from the articles you submit. Instead focus on getting a lot of them out there for the SEO boost that all those back-links will give your site. If you use one of the applications mentioned above you can get hundereds of links every month which will have you at the top of the search engine listings even for competitive keywords.If you need more seo help check out that link.
